Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 You Are Not Beautiful

"Alright," Yao Yuanyao nodded and said, "I think this isn’t the repeating crossbow made by Zhuge Liang, but rather the version modified by Ma Jun, the great inventor from the Wei of the late Han Dynasty, right?"

Zhao Zetian nodded, a subtle, intriguing smile on her lips that made the other men—apart from Wu Tian—steal a few more glances.

"Climber, she’s not actually pretty," the little one suddenly said.

Wu Tian smiled. Leave it to a child to be so blunt. But he was also puzzled. The little guy usually went out of his way to help him pick up girls. Why was he acting so strange today?

Before Wu Tian could answer, Zhao Zetian had already looked at the little one. "Little sister, am I really not pretty? Children shouldn’t lie, you know."

"Of course you’re not pretty," the little one huffed, crossing his arms confidently. "Actually, if you want to know if you’re beautiful, there’s a test for that."

"Tell me," Zhao Zetian said. Every woman cared about her looks.

"It’s simple," the little one said, his big eyes flashing with cunning. "Go and pursue my Climber. If you succeed, it proves you’re a beauty. If you can’t, it just means you’re average-looking, nothing special."

Wow, has the little guy already mastered the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Wu Tian thought in surprise.

Zhao Zetian scoffed. As if any man is out of my reach if I actually try. But for now, business came first.

"It seems the Yao family does have at least one capable member," Zhao Zetian chuckled. "Unlike this Mr. Yao here, who just hems and haws."

Being an introvert, the full-grown Yao Yuanyao shyly lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yao Yuansheng, however, was furious. "Miss Zhao, I’ll take this repeating crossbow. Alright, the crossbow plus 500 million in exchange for the Heaven-Defying Sword," he declared, trying to project the authority of the Family Head, completely unaware he had fallen for her taunt.

"Deal," Zhao Zetian nodded.

Yao Yuansheng left and returned a short while later, carefully carrying a sword case. The case was bound with iron chains, and not only that, but it was also covered in talismans. "This... this sword possesses Divine Power. Whoever obtains it is destined for continuous misfortune, so please be careful, Miss Zhao," Yao Yuansheng cautioned.

Zhao Zetian nodded, then turned to her sister with a frown. "Sister, do you know how to handle this sword?"

Zhao Mulan, who had kept her eyes closed in meditation ever since entering the room, now opened them. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she sized up the Heaven-Defying Sword. She nodded. "I can suppress it, limiting it to at most half of its power."

With that, Zhao Mulan walked over, opened the sword case, and took out the Heaven-Defying Sword.

At the same time, Zhao Zetian rose from the sofa. "Alright, our transaction is complete. It’s time for us to leave."

But as she took her first step—

HISS!

The fabric of her white shorts suddenly tore at the thigh, revealing her pale skin.
